Rainy Days and Sundays

I didn't step out of the house at all yesterday so today, I thought I'd get some fresh air. Granted it was pretty much raining all day, but it's not the heavy rain kind, more like the misty kind. Before we moved to this city, I didn't think it's possible to rain as much, even though you hear about it all the time. Turns out, it can.

I know it drives some people crazy, Vancouverites and (Brit) Londoners not counting, the amount of rain that we get, that is. Considering I was neither born nor raised here, I don't mind it at all. That feeling of washing away... Besides, it's not snow, for sure. Hah!

So, got my fresh air earlier, so to speak, that is if you count circulated mall air fresh hehe... Did I buy something? Maybe... *sheepish grin*...

For dindin tonight, hubs and I decided to make this.

Octopus salad

First of all, we've been kinda' craving it for a while now. Second, it's hard enough as it is to get this in the market so hubs actually had to place a special order for this.

I realize this is not necessarily the first dish you'll think of as a comfort food kinda food, especially on a rainy day. But hey, hubs got the call when he got the call. And with a crusty bread and a nice bottle of vino, I say that's comforting enough:p

And for dessert, V-Day is coming up after all, not that we celebrate it, but thought we'd have this.

Strawberry cheesecake

And, no, didn't make it... heehee...
